A Female Computer User's Prayer

[Rose-Mary]

I wrote this prayer in gratitude for my computer, which has opened up many new horizons for me. I have been gifted with the talent for digital art, which has been well received.


A Female Computer User’s Prayer


Lord,

I am grateful for the ‘Your PC Doesn’t Bite’ course that enabled me to switch on my computer. Daily I marvel at my prowess as I learn new skills.

Thank you for the buzz I get when I master a complicated procedure, the euphoric experience can be quite heady!

Help me to realise that when my computer crashes I can use it as a housework opportunity. The smirk on the faces of the spiders in my home is getting a little insufferable!

I must learn to accept with equanimity the message of opprobrium when I switch the machine on again. I always think it is a little unfair to tell me off for not using the shut down mode, it wasn’t my fault the computer got in a ‘strop’ and seized up, was it?

The Internet has opened up to me a world of information. Please assist me to use the knowledge wisely and well.

I am thankful most of all, for the friendship of my cyber-pals from the far-flung corners of the globe. It is exciting to have another way to ‘chat’ to people. Please remind me that listening is also a virtue.

Thank you God for my computer, I have more friends, skills and talents than ever before. Please assist me to continue with the learning process and put it to good use for the benefit and happiness of others. AMEN

Dear, sweet Rose-Mary!

This prayer has proved extremely popular, which is rather gratifying, several websites have asked if they can use it!

*high five* That's AWESOME!! And about the housework...I do believe my computer corner is the neatest, most organized spot in the house - only because I'm over here so much that it's impossible to stand when it's messy Which is more than I can say for the carpet and the bathroom *shakes head sadly*...

Whitbit,

Thanks, I am not too fond of housework and being busy on my computer gives me an excuse to leave it for a while. But when we need to resort to masks because the dust is so thick I do put my computer in sleep mode and flick a duster around the place!!!!
